Broods

Broods is a music duo from Nelson, New Zealand, composed of Georgia Nott (born 7 July 1994) on lead vocals, with older brother and multi-instrumentalist Caleb Nott (born 1 July 1992) on production and backing vocals. They released the single β€œBridges”, which went to No. 8 on the New Zealand single chart. They then signed with Capitol and Polydor Records.

They released their debut EP, Broods, on 30 January 2014, which was followed by a full-length album, Evergreen, on 22 August 2014.

Caleb and Georgia have performed together since childhood. They grew up in a musical family with three other siblings, and would go along with their parents to weddings and church performances in an ABBA tribute band.

They both dropped out of university to pursue Broods. Broods was formed in Auckland in early 2013. The brother-sister project began collaborating with music producer Joel Little, whom they met as a judge at the 2011 Smokefreerockquest. They were members of the indie rock band, The Peasants, who won the music competition in 2011. While considering names for the band, their manager suggested Broods. The band liked the double meaning, relating to family and a feeling of brooding in their music.
